NATIONAL RECORD STORE DAY
April 19th
April 19th will be NATIONAL
RECORD STORE DAY - yeah- really!
We're going to celebrate with guest DJs, a sidewalk
sale, LIVE MUSIC, TONS of free goods and a bunch of
other stuff
we haven't even thought of yet!
a few quotes from our musician friends, that got us all
verklempt:
Bruce Springsteen
"I buy CDs all the time. I'll go into a record store and
just buy $500 worth of CDs. I will! I am singlehandedly
supporting what's left of the record business.
I hate to see record stores disappear, and I'm old-
school in that I think you should pay for your music.
But what my kids do is download a lot of things, pay
for them, and then if they love something, they'll get the
CD. That may be the future."
David and Don Was (Not Was)
"In the beginning was the record store, more like a
modern-day temple with its attendant priesthood and
initiates, a holy repository of the culture's most sacred
beats and rhymes. By comparison, the internet is a
clean room in a hospital -- it lacks the funk and feeling
of a place with floors and ceilings and racks full of
soul-stirring goodness. May they persist till someone
turns the lights out on this small planet! Here's to the
true believers -- keep the faith, brothers and sisters!"
Paul McCartney
"There's nothing as glamorous to me as a record
store. When I recently played Amoeba in LA, I realised
what fantastic memories such a collection of music
brings back when you see it all in one place. This is
why I'm more than happy to support Record Store Day
and I hope that these kinds of stores will be there for
us all for many years to come. Cheers!"
Shelby Lynne
"You can't roll a joint on an iPod - buy vinyl!"

Listening Post Features for February
Get in our heads
Radiohead - In Rainbows
"in terms of songwriting, production and execution this
is Radiohead at its most inspired" - The New York
Times
"the band's most accessible release ever"-
Entertainment Weekly
"Radiohead's most emotionally resonant songs in a
decade" - Spin
"Radiohead haven't sounded this aggressive and
infuriated - so rock and roll - since OK COMPUTER, an
achievement that will be worth the usual retail price
when IN RAINBOWS comes out on CD in January."
#6 album of the year -Rolling Stone
"In Rainbows had no serious rival this year'" #1 BEST
ALBUM 2007 - New York Magazine
"surprising and addictive" ALBUM OF THE YEAR -
Mojo
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Forty years after the Summer of Love (and 30 years
after
the Summer of Hate), MGMT is celebrating the grand
re-opening of the third eye of the world with Oracular
Spectacular- a collection of
hallucinatory sounds and hook-riddled pop tunes for
the new millennium.
T.H. White - The Private Spotlight
T.H. White's second album, The Private
Spotlight, was
released in December 2007.
A ten-song collection that spotlights its author's
surplus of talents as multi-instrumentalist (and crack
guitarist), producer, songwriter, arranger, and
programmer, The Private Spotlight manages
that rare
feat: amalgamating an intriguing variety of sonic
textures into a cohesive - and fun - set of songs that
might just provide a soundtrack to the bustling city
from which it draws inspiration.
Joe Jackson - Rain
With its adventurous spirit and piano-based sound,
Rain boasts plenty of humor, swing and
sophistication among barbed social commentary and
even some punk-like rocking out.
Jack Johnson - Sleep Through The Static
The first single If I Had Eyes can be heard on
radio
stations throughout the country. Jack Johnson will
start a US and
European tour in June 2008. Each US tour date will
have an "Eco Village" supporting both national and
local environmental non-profit organizations (including
Climate
Counts, Surfrider and Vote the Environment).

*NEW MUSIC NOW* AT VINYLFEVERTAMPA.COM
NEW ON THE SITE: GOLDFRAPP
GOLDFRAPP make a 180 from their previous
two
disco beat-heavy releases and settle in the warm,
sensual, and shimmering sunlight that glows up their
latest, SEVENTH TREE. It is the sound of a
very
British delirium, echoing the poetry of Edward Lear
and the eccentricities of early Pink Floyd. Recorded in
a 1960s bungalow in Bath, England, it was a
conscious move to step away from the Weimar-esque
strutting of earlier work and explore a more
psychedelic terrain. Hear for yourself in the pop-up
jukebox at
vinylfevertampa.com.
